LITCHFIELD NATIONAL PARK
RESCHEDULED! NOW ON SATURDAY 30th NOVEMBER, 2024
After initially having to be postponed due to extreme fire danger and weather conditions, the Litchfield Bush Rogaine is BACK, with a few tweaks! The Se7en Defi9ing Reasons Bush Rogaine is taking place in Litchfield National Park on Saturday 30th November, 2024.
There are Se7en good reasons to enter - see the flyer above!
The Hash House is located at the Litchfield Education Facility (located on the Florence Falls / Buley Rockhole road). There are showers and toilets, a large undercover common area, green grass for camping and a water hole safe for swimming.
Given that the rogaine is taking place in November, it will probably be a tropical sultry Saturday, so we are proposing to extend the time allowed on the course by a couple of hours - it was 7 hours - now it is 9 hours. NOTE - the original course itself has not changed - we are not increasing distance - but we ARE giving you more time.
Why?
Extra time provides you with the opportunity to swim in many of the cool places that Litchfield has to offer while still having a good crack at getting around to as many of the controls as possible without becoming too heat stressed.
Caveats around how Teams (of 2 to 5 people) can use the allocated time:
Teams can start the rogaine ANY TIME on Saturday 30th Nov.
Teams must not spend any more than 9 hours out on the course.
Teams must finish no later than 7:00pm on Saturday 30th Nov.
As a suggestion, you may wish to stagger your rogaine by doing say a 5 + 4 hour, or a 6 + 3 hour - breaking up the time spent out on the course by returning to the Hash House in-between, resting up, swimming, having lunch and then going out again. Or perhaps you prefer to do a 9 hour peripatetic peregrination and complete the rogaine in one hit. Having up to 9 hours out on the course provides ample rest time if conditions are hot and humid. Fingers crossed it will be a bit overcast, or maybe there will be a little bit of rain?!
If you prefer to revert to a shorter wander, we are still conducting a 4 hour event from 2:00pm onwards. All teams in the 4 hour event must be finished no later than 7:00pm.
Maps for the longer 9 hour event will be available from Friday evening onwards for those who wish to come down ahead of time and camp on Friday night, or any time on Saturday. For the shorter 4 hour event, maps will be available 2 hours prior to the event start time on Saturday.
Camping is available on both Friday and Saturday evenings.
This is our last event for the year, as the Se7en Rogaine is now being held on what would have been the date of our annual Christmas Mystery Teams Event. We might have stolen the date, but we haven't stolen Christmas! On Saturday evening after the Se7en rogaine has concluded, we will conduct our annual Christmas Swap and Steal. There will also be a fun, educational short quiz to keep you on your toes!
Event Fee includes Saturday Evening Meal and Sunday Morning Breakfast.
Please note that this event is still limited to a maximum of 42 persons in the Litchfield Education Facility campground. You need to get in quick to secure your spot!
See the Entry Form below. SAVE SOME BUCKS - EARLY BIRD entries close at 11pm on Sunday 24th November.
